Student Projects

Green Templeton supports its students to organize academic activities and events that benefit the college community, such as reading or discussion groups, lectures and seminars, film screenings or workshops. Students can also apply to convene and run the annual Human Welfare Conference.

The college may offer in-kind support (such as the free use of college rooms and facilities, help with administration or publicity, or access to college networks) as well as small financial grants (up to £1000).

Financial support is enabled by the generosity of donors to the Annual Fund: funded applicants should acknowledge this support as appropriate, and will be asked to produce a short report on their activity. The report will be used to inform donors to the Annual Fund about the impact of their gift and may also be used for future publicity materials.

How to apply

You’ll need to apply to the college for support for your activity or event well in advance (usually at least one full term and one full vacation before the event takes place). Please note that if you are on a one-year course, you’ll usually need to apply for support in your first term in order to have enough time to plan and deliver your project.

You can only make one Academic application per academic year (but each application can include a programme of multiple events).

• We strongly recommend that you attend the Atlas Workshop/ briefing session on ‘College Funding for your Academic Projects’ early in Michaelmas Term. Register for 2023-4.
• If you have any questions about the logistical aspects of your application (what dates might be best to schedule an event, what facilities or catering would be available and how much they’ll cost etc), email the GTC Events Team before you submit your application.
• If you have any questions about the content of your project (its benefits to the college community, how it might fit with other projects at GTC, how and to whom it could be publicised etc), email the Academic Projects Team before you submit your application.
• Complete the application form below, reading the notes carefully, and email it to Academic Projects. You can submit your application at any time. We will aim to consider the proposal and reply within three weeks.
